The Hi-Stakes

With their compositions, the Amsterdam-based Rhythm 'n' Blues Band has set itself the goal of bringing rock 'n' roll into the 21st century. They present their music dynamically with a good dose of exuberance. Rhythm 'n' Blues The Hi-Stakes are a 5-piece rhythm & blues band from Amsterdam. At the heart of the band is singer Samuele Ghezzi, a charismatic frontman who knows how to captivate any audience in the world. Once started as a Ray Charles/Louis Jordan cover band, The Hi-Stakes now exclusively play their own compositions, which help bring rock 'n' roll into the 21st century with humorous lyrics. The best-dressed band in the Netherlands released their debut album in the summer of 2023. The release tour took them through Italy, Belgium, Mexico, Brazil, and the Netherlands, including the Blue Note Sao Paolo and the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam. In the fall of 2025, "Do It," the Hi-Stakes' second album, will be released.
